I've picked up five guests that have flown into DIA since the demon horse was erected and one of them even mentioned that the glowing red eyes and bizarre mane look like a comet and its tail.  The others compared it to a dragon, a devil horse, a vision from Hell, and one just stared at it with her mouth open, then saying, "I can't believe that, I just can't believe - I mean, no one at home will believe this, unless they see it". 

It really is bizarre and ominous looking - and very large and impossible to miss.  Of course, compared to the murals inside the airport, it's quite 'normal' and harmless looking.   The whole airport is just beyond bizarre - and one of those places that its best to get into and out of as quickly as one can.

Seems to me, TPTB are trying hard to implement the (manifesto) scripted

An archetypal symbol of animal vitality, velocity and beauty.

The Complete Dictionary of Symbols

And that symbolism seems to have been inverted by the sculpture.

Also, compare the Denver Airport horse’s head to the horse head in this famous painting by Henry Fuseli, explicitly entitled ‘Nightmare’, painted in the late 18th century.

Yep, but the eyes are turned off - must have been taken as they were putting it up - I've never seen it with the eyes turned off - the red glow is strong enough to be seen during the day - at night, of course, it's really obvious, or is that ominous?

Ahh, okay. I thought it was just the time of day it was taken. Strong enough to be seen during the day?

Someone really wants to make a statement!

I thought I was just being paranoid, when I read this about the horse in Kent, this morning, because it reminded me of the Denver horse. I seem to recall many UFO sightings from the Kent area and senseless violence.

It will be interesting to see where they place the next one.....perhaps AU ??? :/

Well, to be clear, I was kidding - but the horse did catch my eye, mostly because of the title "'Stallion of the south' to greet travellers" - which I thought was yet another reference to the Denver Devilhorse. Then I thought, how odd that two enormous horses (of different colors) directly related to travelers and greeting them, would be in the news at the same time? Which brought to mind dant's post, thus my post. It was in jest - but - at this point, nothing would really surprise me, so who knows?

Interesting Anart, and I actually liked your little jest!

BTW: iust an additional tiny little question: Where are the `riders'? ;)

I think it's significant that The New York Times is writing one of its "objective" articles about The Blue Mustang at the Denver Airport.

Ridicule is one of the tactics used in the article to diffuse the concern that the airport and the statue have raised. Another tactic is presenting people who had a change of heart or mind about the statue.

Now that there are poetry slams dedicated to the Blue Mustang, and the phenomenon of conspiracy theories have been raised and dismissed, I guess that we're all supposed to relax and maybe forget about the whole thing.

Although there is mention of "secret bunkers", "caravans", "symbols of Freemasonry", "aliens living under the airport", there is no mention of the murals, or the shape of the airport. Wonder why.

And Behold a Big Blue Horse? Many in Denver Just Say Neigh
By KIRK JOHNSON
DENVER — Airports can be tense and testy places in the best of times. At Denver International Airport, you can add glow-in-the-dark eyes to the list of triggers for a traveler’s angst.

A statue of a giant male horse — electric-eyed, cobalt blue and anatomically correct — was installed in February 2008 on the roadway approach to the terminal, and it is freaking more than a few people out.

Haters of this work say that “Blue Mustang,” as it is formally known, by the artist Luis Jiménez (killed in 2006 when a section of the 9,000-pound fiberglass statue fell on him during construction), is frightening, or cursed by its role in Mr. Jiménez’s death, or both. Supporters say the 32-foot-tall horse is a triumph, if only as a declaration of Denver’s courage to go beyond easy-listening-style airport art that many cities use like visual Dramamine to soothe travelers’ nerves.

Love it or loathe it, though, “Blue Mustang” is doing what art is supposed to do — get attention. There’s even a poetry slam planned in Denver to read horse haikus, of which about 250 have been composed, believe it or not.

“It’s definitely achieved its purpose of being memorable,” said Rachel Hultin, a real-estate broker in Denver who started a page on Facebook last month to vent her horse anxieties, byebyebluemustang.com, and found herself at the center of the debate.

Ms. Hultin, who said she started the campaign partly on a whim, “after a few drinks with friends,” also suggested on her page that people post comments in haiku form. Denver residents and travelers who had formed an opinion about the statue while passing through, leapt at the challenge. To wit:

Anxiously I fly
apocalyptic hell beast
fails to soothe my nerves.

Local artists and city public art administrators say “Blue Mustang” has stirred a deeper debate too, about Denver itself, and what sort of image it wants to communicate. Is “Blue Mustang” an echo of the city’s high-plains bronco-busting past? Or a mocking denunciation of the Old West conventions? Or is it just strange?

“People can’t put their finger on what’s it’s conveying,” said Joni Palmer, who is finishing a doctoral dissertation on politics and public art in Denver. “It’s the strangeness that really unnerves people — this mix of things.”

As another of the haiku writers put it:

Big blue horse beckons
Fiery, red eyes glowering
Good bye one horse town.

The airport’s public-art administrator, Matt Chasansky, said airport settings carry fundamentally different psychological baggage than ordinary urban spaces. Like most public art in Denver, he said, the statue was paid for by developers who are required to contribute 1 percent of the cost of major capital projects to public art.

“We don’t want the work to convey things that would make people uncomfortable about flying,” Mr. Chasansky said. No art, for example, would be commissioned with a violent theme. But art that is too soothing, he said, is probably in the end just bad art.

“Quality works of public art are not the works that are completely gentle,” he said.

Yet the specific setting of “Blue Mustang” has evolved since it was commissioned in the 1990s, changing how the work is perceived.

The original design called for a pull-off from the airport road, with benches and ample room to contemplate the statue from all angles. After the terrorist attacks of 9/11, however, the parking area idea was shelved for security reasons.

That makes “Blue Mustang” literally unapproachable: most viewers zoom by, perhaps retaining only a vague impression. The barriers to approach, artists and art critics say, have compounded the piece’s troubles, making it seem even more forbidding by virtue of isolation.

“There’s no location to be able to get intimate with the work,” said Lawrence Argent, an artist in Denver. “It’s a vista from afar, and to many it’s a frightening vista from afar.”

Mr. Argent knows about distant vistas — and outsize animals too. He is best known in Denver for creating a two-story blue bear that peers into a window of the Colorado Convention Center, called “I See What You Mean.” Last fall he received a commission for an installation at Sacramento International Airport in California for a 56-foot-long red rabbit. When the piece is installed as part of a planned airport expansion, the fiberglass rabbit will appear to be leaping through the terminal into a giant suitcase.

Ms. Hultin, meanwhile, who got the ball rolling with her antihorse Facebook page, has changed her mind. She no longer wants “Blue Mustang” removed, as she once did. (City policy holds that public art pieces are left in place for five years, anyway, and officials have given no sign of budging.)

She now thinks that pamphlets at the airport, and maybe education courses for airport bus drivers, could lead viewers into a deeper understanding of the horse and the artist, she said, notwithstanding that she had been called “every name in the book” by defenders of the statue.

“In the process of being personally attacked through e-mail, and through learning more about the piece, I’ve shifted gears from, ‘I don’t think it’s appropriate,’ to ‘Let’s try and understand it,’ ” she said.

But the controversy has also stirred up people in other ways. Conspiracies have floated around the Internet for years about secret bunkers or caverns beneath the terminals at the Denver airport. Symbols of Freemasonry are also said to abound on airport floors and walls.

“It’s brought out the conspiracy theorists who think there are aliens living under the airport,” said Patricia Calhoun, the editor of Westword, an alternative weekly paper in Denver that is helping organize a “Blue Mustang” poetry slam in April to share horse haiku as part of National Poetry Month.

Some interesting information that i ran into while taking a sauna at a fitness club, was to bump into a group of native Americans whom worked for one the raillines. It was their job to maintain and fix new and used rail line's for repairer ( TO MOVE WHAT ? ). They indicated that they were working around the clock in two week intervals non stop with i think it was 1 or 2 week furlows and then back to the tracks to continue the repair .(YEAR ROUND ) . At the time we talked they were finishing a line from El paso, Tx. to Arizona .............from out land to inland ....?.

Interesting painting to me is that with children who are taking the weapons from each country and giving them to the german boy. When I was kid I read a book about Nostradamus and his prophecies, and there was mentioned something like there will be leader from Germnay who will unify the world(NWO?).(but maybe the translators got it wrong) This is very interesting. And her is very good documentary about that airport:

Notice the simbol Au Ag in first part - maybe meaning something with biological weapons, maybe vaccine against swine flu that is coming back in winter! And there is jewish girl dead and Cs said that Israel will be destroyed and in the background there is a destruction of city, and Cs said that USA will become city in 5D! :)

I don't have much bandwidth and can't check the video you proposed.

In the periodic table of the elements, Au stands for gold and Ag for silver.

In symbology those two metals are often used to express duality : gold = yang = active force = Sun , silver = yin = passive force = Moon.

 

[anart]

I just watched them. The AUAG symbol is a symbol embedded in the marble floor, made of what appears to be brass. There are hundreds of such symbols throughout the airport embedded in the marble flooring - ranging from glyph looking things to mountain goats to skiers. This particular symbol is AU and AG in a mining cart - in other words, the mining of gold and silver that was the basis of Denver becoming a city in the first place. The documentary links it to Australian Antigen, the name of a strain of hepatitis that the documentary links to a pandemic - it's a very weak theory, and very tenuous link, imo.

It covers the murals (as discussed in this thread) - where they assert that the artist who painted the murals is a Mayan (?) - not sure about that. They also state that one of the bodies in one of the death murals is a young Jewish girl, but it's never struck me as a young Jewish girl, especially since she's holding a bible with a Christian cross on it on her chest. So, this is another very weak theory. They also assert that the Mayan girl holding the tablet in that mural directly alludes to the Mayan calendar, where they introduce 2012 - seems if it directly related to the Mayan calendar, the girl would have been holding the calendar - not some broken tablet that is indecipherable. It would be more logical to relate it to the end of the Mayan civilization.

They also state that buildings were 'buried' due to being 'built wrong' that created an underground base. Well, considering that the airport is built on the prairie east of Denver and it is very flat, this doesn't make much sense (seems you'd see the mounds resulting from burying the buildings) and they give no source for this information. I'm not disputing that there is an underground base - just that it was created by burying buildings that were built on the surface but 'built wrong' - that just makes no sense.

They have pictures of what are supposedly underground staircases and tunnels, but it's difficult to know if these are actually from the airport, since they don't say they are - some sourcing would be really valuable on that aspect - since they have the appearance of stock photos that are unrelated to the airport itself. They say that contractors have mentioned the sprinkler systems in the underground tunnels, 150 ft below ground, that serve no purpose, since the tunnels are made of concrete with nothing to burn - so they link the system to be used for the dispersion of the AUAG antigen for hepatitis (seems there would be a faster way to kill off people in the tunnels than the dispersal of hepatitis).

They do say the underground tunnels and buildings appear to be holding rooms and have been compared to concentration camps, which would align with several known theories about the future use of the airport. They say the airport has stated the holding rooms are to be used for storage, but they currently serve no purpose and they mention the chain link fences that have barbed wire tops that face in, to keep people in, and not facing outward to keep people out. This aspect is true, as I've noticed that when approaching the airport. However, in that section of the video, they show razor wire fences and there are no razor wire fences at DIA, to my knowledge, so it appears the pictures they are showing of the fences, and perhaps the tunnels as well, have no direct correlation to the airport. Perhaps the tunnels do, but it's impossible to tell.

They say the underground base is 88.5 square miles long, but with no source for that data - they use the sheer alleged size of it question the 'storage space' reasoning for the underground buildings and then link it directly to the 'new world order' again showing George Bush's face.

All in all - it seems to be a LOT of conjecture with a few facts thrown in there. The coverage on the murals was pretty good, aside from the 'jewish girl' comment and the AUAG connection, which seem implausible. There were also some grammatical errors in the script which always stand out like a sore thumb to me. So - that's the run down for those of you who can't watch video! All in all - I'd give it a 5 out of 10 rating.
